Books & Books, Coral Gables. February 27 and 28, 2013.
What do we turn to for both everyday sustenance and seasonal celebration? Food. Often, though, we’re like the hungry ghosts of Taoist lore, eating mindlessly, wandering aimlessly, and wanting more – more than food itself can provide. Ellen Kanner believes that if we put in a little thought and preparation, every meal can feed not only our bodies but our souls and our communities as well. Warm, wicked, and one-of-a-kind, Ellen offers an irreverent approach to bringing reverence into daily living – and eating. She presents global vegan recipes that call you to the table, stories that make you stand up and cheer, and gentle nudges that aim to serve up what we’re hungry for: a more vital self, more loving and meaningful connections, a nourished and nourishing world, and great food, too. Feeding the Hungry Ghost will challenge you to decide: keep reading or start cooking?
Ellen Kanner is an award-winning food writer, Huffington Post’s Meatless Monday blogger, and the syndicated columnist Edgy Veggie. She is published in Bon Appetit, Eating Well, Vegetarian Times, Every Day with Rachael Ray, and Culinate, as well as in other online and print publications. She’s an ardent advocate for sustainable, accessible food, serving on the Miami boards of Slow Food and Common Threads.
From teaching underserved students to cook to speaking about what we’re hungry for, Ellen keeps a busy schedule of appearances and presentations but always has time to tend her tiny organic vegetable garden, hike in the Everglades, make friends with a cow, or make dinner with friends. There’s always room for more at her table. She believes in close community, strong coffee, organic food, and red lipstick. A fourth-generation Floridian, she lives “la vida vegan” in Miami with her husband.
